Does Medicare cover Transvaginal ultrasound?

After your annual Part B deductible, you typically owe the 20% coinsurance — roughly $24 — unless a Medicare Advantage or supplemental (Medigap) plan covers it.
General guidance from Medicare’s national rates — your actual coverage and share depend on medical necessity, your plan, and where the service is performed. Confirm with Medicare or your plan.
